"But Trump's hypersensitivity and unedited, untempered Pavlovian responses are, shall we say, unusual in both ferocity and predictability. This is beyond narcissism. I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard bully. I was off by about 10 years."
That was right- wing republican columnist and FOX Views host, CharlesKrauthammer, who is an actual psychiatrist, giving us a breakdown of Donald's mental state.

dinthebeast said...“In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation.”

Michael J. Morell---

Quoting Mike Morell, the Hillary crony who was caught lying before the Senate? Mr. Morell was a central pillar of Hilary's Benghazi cover-Up, who then went to work for Hillary-aligned private intelligence firm.

"At issue is the central role Morell played in producing the Obama administration’s flawed talking points about the fatal attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012, and the misleading answers he provided to lawmakers who investigated them.

The allegations of misconduct are serious. In the “additional views” portion of the recent Senate Intelligence Committee report, six Republican members accuse Morell of lying in sworn testimony to Congress. Several Republican senators tell The Weekly Standard that Morell misled them in one-on-one or small-group meetings about the talking points. Morell—now counselor to Beacon Global Strategies, a consultancy close to Hillary Clinton—did not respond to a request for comment.

Three aspects of the controversy are drawing particular interest: (1) Morell’s obfuscation of his central role in rewriting the [Benghazi] talking points, (2) Morell’s contention that the FBI rewrote the talking points, and (3) Morell’s false claim that the talking points were provided to the White House merely as a heads-up and not for coordination."

What is indisputable is that when Clapper was asked who was responsible for editing the talking points, and Clapper said he had no idea, Morrell said nothing, despite sitting next to Clapper -- and Morrell knew it was he himself who had edited them.

He tried to blame particularly blameworthy parts of his own Hillary-friendly handiwork on the FBI:

"Under questioning from the senators about the talking-points editing process, Morell tried to blame the FBI for cutting the reference to al-Qa’eda terrorism; he said the FBI didn’t want to compromise an ongoing criminal investigation. When Graham called the FBI and told them what Morell had said, ‘they went ballistic,’ Graham said in an interview with Fox News. ‘Confronted with this, Morell changed his statement and admitted that he, and the CIA, had been responsible after all.’.

And does the media mention this curious backstory, his very intimate connection with the Benghazi deception at the heart of the 2016 election?

That Mike Morrell appears to have been endorsing Hillary with each deceptive answers he gave Congress about Benghazi since 2012?

Nah. All they have to say is "CIA Director Says Trump Can't be Trusted with National Security."

Yeah. CIA Deputy Director. The guy whose ignominious exit from the CIA was followed up with -- get this -- a high-paying gig at yet another Clinton-aligned super-wealthy organization with shadowy purpose.

Funny how all of Hillary's cronies are always either on the payroll of the government, at her behest, or else have their nests feathered by Hillary's huge-dollar shadow government organizations, huh?

Yes, Trump is a narcissistic ignorant racist. The problem is that Hillary is a warmongering neocon corporate tool. One should be deported to Mexico and the other should be in jail, but the media covers for the corporate tool.

Trump's juvenile personality is fascinating, like seeing Mussolini as a reality star. But what should decide this election is one question: which candidate and which party admit global warming is real and that we can do something about it?

"I believe in science," Hillary said, and we all knew exactly what she meant.

This is the ultimate issue. They made it part of the Rio opening ceremony. But then they're just silly samba dancers, right?

Why is it not a deadly sin to squander your children's inheritance of a high-trust society by importing violent, immiscible peoples, just so you can have cheap labor and more consumers to sell crummy gewgaws and cellphone plans to?

Some political scientists say that if a presidential candidate can win by more than 15 points, the gerrymandering won't hold the house and it will follow suit. That's what we have to reach for at this point. If we can win the house and the senate back, and also get a bunch of the statehouses back, we can finish expanding medicaid, get our judges and cabinet confirmed, and get a supreme court justice who will be the fifth vote to overturn Citizens United, get an infrastructure bill passed that will put a bunch of the angriest white men back into good paying jobs and lower the level of anger in the overall national discourse a little. That's just the start. It will be a hard fight, and congress may still be out of reach this time, but the results will be worth the effort.

Money is nice, but being able to speak my mind is better.

"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)" ~Philebrity~

"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~

"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet."~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call theAfroSpear.

Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslaveand African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online."~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~
